Because normal cameras are boring, now you can create 360 degree, spherical images that let you exist in the center. Take a photo, upload to your smartphone or computer, and you can literally look around, placing yourself in the middle of the action. Images can also be flattened for a “tiny world” feel, and it even record three minute, 360 degree videos. It’s like having the whole world, in your hands. Sing it!

Now you can soak in a relaxing hot tub absolutely anywhere, from the roof of walk up to the woods to that supply closet at work no one ever looks in because paper and pens are so 2003. If you don’t see why this is great, you need it even more that most.

Yeah, so it’s not electronic, and thus not technically a “gadget.” But you know what? Life can be exhausting, and sometimes you just need to unplug and take a break. Why not do it on a log-shaped pillow? All the joys of sleeping in nature, minus hard wood, bark, and beetles.
